Rationale: Teachers must recognize that each learner differs in regard to learning styles, strengths, and needs. Teachers, therefore, should be able to employ a variety of instructional approaches, including those that use technology to adapt the educational environment to individual students’ diverse learning needs. Teachers should also recognize that their students are active, critical processors of information and cocreators of knowledge. Accordingly, teachers should know instructional strategies that help to foster active learners and a life-long love of learning. Teachers should know the dynamics of fostering critical thinking and problem-solving processes in their students and know how to help students make connections to the subject area being studied. Teachers should value a good question as much as a good answer and work to develop a climate of inquiry in their classrooms, connecting learning to real world problems in their larger communities.
